Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This patent application claims the benefit and priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202211477992.8, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Nov. 23, 2022, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as part of the present application.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of gesture recognition technologies, and in particular, to a domain adaptation method and system for gesture recognition.

BACKGROUND

An electromyography gesture recognition system inevitably encounters electrode shift caused by repeatedly wearing a device by a user, muscle fatigue caused by long-term use of the device by the user, and individual differences such as different electrode placement positions, different muscle development, different skin impedance, and different gesture action completion among different users, resulting in significant differences between surface electromyography signals from different users, different sessions, or different muscle fatigue states. From the view of machine learning, the surface electromyography signals from different users, different sessions, or different muscle fatigue states may be considered as different domains, and a data distribution difference between different domains usually causes domain shift. Consequently, training data and test data of a gesture recognition model do not meet a conventional machine learning hypothesis “independent and identically distributed”, which leads to performance degradation of the trained model when recognizing data from a new domain, seriously affecting robustness and a generalization ability of cross-domain gesture recognition of the electromyography gesture recognition system.

Therefore, experts in the field of electromyography human-machine interface widely use a domain adaption learning technology in machine learning to resolve a domain shift problem of electromyography signals induced by various factors. In the field of machine learning, training data of a model is usually considered as source domain data, to-be-recognized new data is considered as target domain data. A goal of domain adaption learning is to minimize a probability distribution difference between a source domain and a target domain and establish a machine learning model that can perform a corresponding task in the target domain. The surface electromyography signal has a multi-source property, that is, surface electromyography data from different users, different sessions, and different muscle fatigue states may be considered as data from different data sources. Therefore, a domain adaption problem in electromyography gesture recognition is essentially a multi-source domain adaption problem. A conventional adaptive learning method between the target domain and a single source domain easily ignores different association between different source domains and the target domain.

Embodiment 2

As shown in FIG. 2, this embodiment provides an unsupervised multi-view adversarial domain adaption learning framework for electromyography gesture recognition, which is applicable to the domain adaptation method for gesture recognition provided in Embodiment 1. A construction process of the unsupervised multi-view adversarial domain adaption learning framework for electromyography gesture recognition includes three main steps of multi-view electromyography gesture recognition model construction based on a multi-branch convolutional recurrent neural network, unsupervised adversarial domain adaption learning model construction under a multi-source view, and multi-source view fusion based on a similarity between a target domain and a source domain.

1. Multi-View Electromyography Gesture Recognition Model Construction Based on a Multi-Branch Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network

It is assumed that a training data set includes a surface electromyography data sample set (X₁^S, X₂^S, . . . , X_k^S), belonging to K source domains (S₁, S₂, . . . , and S_k), where X_i^S={x_j^S, y_j^S}_j=1^NiS, x_j^S represents a surface electromyography data sample in the source domain, y_j^S represents a gesture action label corresponding to x_j^S, and N_i^S represents a total quantity of surface electromyography data samples in the source domain. A multi-view electromyography gesture recognition model including k deep neural network branches is constructed and is configured to perform feature learning and gesture classification under different independent source-specific views. Each deep neural network branch is formed by a source domain feature extractor F_i and a source domain gesture classifier C_i and is pre-trained by using surface electromyography data with a label of a source domain corresponding to the deep neural network branch. In the pre-training process, deep neural network branches corresponding to different source domains do not share a neural network parameter, to ensure that optimal solutions of parameters of F_i and C_i can be obtained under source-specific views corresponding to the deep neural network branches.

Surface electromyography is essentially a time sequence, to more effectively perform time sequence modeling on surface electromyography data of each source domain, in this embodiment, a structure of each neural network branch in the multi-view electromyography gesture recognition model is designed based on a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN). As shown in FIG. 3, a source domain feature extractor F_i(i=1, 2, . . . , and k) in each deep neural network branch is formed by connecting a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), and multiple fully connected layers. The recurrent neural network is a neural network having a time sequence memory ability, and constructs a hidden unit having a self-feedback structure on each time point of a sequence. Feedback of each hidden unit not only enters an output end, but also enters a hidden unit of a next time point. Output of a hidden unit of each time point of the network is not only related to input of the hidden unit and a weight of the network, but also input of hidden units of all time points before the time point.

As shown in FIG. 3, an electromyography gesture recognition process under each source- specific view in the multi-view electromyography gesture recognition model is described as follows. Sliding window sampling is first performed on each segment of surface electromyography signal sequence, then surface electromyography signals of M frames and L channels in each sliding sampling window are normalized into an interval [0, 1] and then converted into an M*L surface electromyography image, the surface electromyography image is inputted into a convolutional neural network formed by a convolutional layer and a local connected layer for feature learning, a convolutional feature learned by the convolutional neural network is mapped to a vector space by using a fully connected layer, and then a deep feature in a form of a vector outputted by the fully connected layer is inputted into a recurrent neural network (RNN) unit. Each sliding sampling window is considered as a time point in a time sequence. A surface electromyography signal x_t of each sliding sampling window is associated with a surface electromyography signal x_t−1 of a previous time point (a sliding sampling window) and a surface electromyography signal x_t+1 of a next time point (a sliding sampling window) by using a RNN unit with a self-feedback structure, so that the RNN may perform time series modeling on a surface electromyography signal sequence and output a learned time sequence feature outputted by using a last RNN unit. The outputted time sequence feature is inputted into a gesture classifier formed by a fully connected layer (a G-way fully connected layer) of G hidden units and a softmax classifier for gesture recognition, and a gesture classification result in a form of a probability of each gesture category is outputted, where G is equal to a total quantity of gesture action categories.

2. Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaption Learning Model Construction Under a Multi-Source View

In electromyography gesture recognition, a goal of multi-source unsupervised domain adaption learning is to minimize a distribution difference between different source domains and a target domain and construct a machine learning model that can perform a gesture recognition task in the target domain in a case that the surface electromyography data sample (X₁^S, X₂^S, . . . , X_k^S), with a label belonging to k source domains (S₁, S₂, . . . , and S_k) and a surface electromyography data sample set X^T={x_j^T}_j=1^NT without a label belonging to some target domains are known. To achieve this goal, in this embodiment, unsupervised adversarial domain adaption learning is performed under different independent source-specific views, and an unsupervised adversarial domain adaption learning model under a multi-source view is constructed, so that target domain electromyography gesture recognition performance can be effectively improved by using an optimal source domain deep feature learned under different source-specific views.

As shown in FIG. 2, for each source domain S_i, a target domain feature encoder F_i^T and a domain discriminator D_i is first established under a S_i view. Under the source domain S_i view, the target domain feature encoder F_i^T and the source domain feature extractor F_i have a same neural network structure, and a parameter of F_i is used as an initial parameter. The target domain feature encoder encodes target domain electromyography data X^T, to generate a deep feature F_i^T(X^T) of the target domain electromyography data under the source domain S_i view. The domain discriminator D_i accepts F_i^T(X^T) and a deep feature F_i(X_i^S) learned by the source domain feature extractor F_i from electromyography data of the source domain S_i, and tries to determine domains to which the F_i^T(X^T) and the deep feature belong. When D_i correctly determines that F_i^T(X^T) is from a target domain, the target domain feature encoder F_i^T tries to enable F_i^T(X^T) to be more approximate to F_i(X_i^S) by updating a parameter, increasing a probability that D_i performs incorrect determining. When D_i is trained, a parameter of F_i^T is fixed, and when F_i^T is trained, a parameter of D_i is fixed. Through such a cyclic alternating two-player minimax gaming process, both D_i and F_i^T can obtain optimal solutions. In this case, the deep feature F_i^T(X^T) of the target domain electromyography data under the source domain S_i view is similar enough to the deep feature F_i(X_i^S) of the source domain S_i electromyography data, so that the domain discriminator D_i cannot determine an accurate source of input of the target domain feature encoder. Through the process, cross-domain knowledge between a source domain and a target domain is migrated under each source-specific view, and the unsupervised adversarial adaptive learning model under the multi-source view is finally formed.

In this embodiment, the domain discriminator and the target domain feature encoder are optimized based on a wasserstein distance. When all domain discriminators meet a 1-Lipschitz continuity (Lipschitz continuity condition) constraint condition, the domain discriminator D_i tries to maximize a wasserstein distance between the deep feature F_i(X_i^S) of the source domain S_i electromyography data and the deep feature F_i^T(X^T) of the target domain electromyography data under the source domain S_i view, to correctly distinguish F_i(X_i^S) and F_i^T(X^T), where a target function may be written as:

$\text{?}{V}_i^T=\text{?}\left[\text{?}\left(\text{?}\left(X_i^S\right)\right)-1\right]-\text{?}\left[{\left(D_i\left(F_i^T\left(X^T\right)\right)\right)}^2\right]+\lambda P_{\mathrm{grad}}$ $P_{\mathrm{grad}}=\text{?}\left[{\left(\text{?}{D}_i\left(\text{?}\right){}_2-1\right)}^2\right]$ $\text{?}\text{indicates text missing or illegible when filed}$

p_data(F_i(X_i^S)) is a distribution followed by the deep feature F_i(X_i^S) of the source domain electromyography data, p_XT(X^T) is a distribution following by the target domain electromyography X^T, represents mathematic expectation, P_grad is a gradient penalty term when the domain discriminator D_i meets the 1-Lipschitz constraint, {circumflex over (X)} is a linear random sampling point between every two samples in probability distributions of F_i(X_i^S) and F_i^T(X^T), and λ is a fixed penalty term coefficient.

For the target domain feature encoder F_i^T, the target domain feature encoder tries to minimize the wasserstein distance between F_i(X_i^S) and F_i^T(X^T), to increase a probability that the domain discriminator D_i confuses F_i(X_i^S) and F_i^T(X^T). on the premise that the parameter of domain discriminator D_i is fixed, the target function of F_i^T is equivalent to:

$\underset{F_i^T}{\min }V\left(F_i^T\right)=-\text{?}\left[{\left(D_i\left(F_i^T\left(X^T\right)\right)\right)}^2\right]$ $\text{?}\text{indicates text missing or illegible when filed}$

3. Multi-Source View Fusion Based on a Similarity Between a Target Domain and a Source Domain

In this embodiment, a target domain gesture recognition model under a multi-source view is constructed based on the unsupervised adversarial domain adaption learning model under the multi-source view, and target domain electromyography gesture classification results under different source-specific views are obtained. As shown in FIG. 3, a target domain gesture recognition model under an i^th source domain S_i view is formed by a target domain feature encoder F_i^T under the S_i view and a source domain gesture classifier C_i corresponding to Si. F_i^T is configured to learn, from new to-be-recognized target domain electromyography data X′^T, a deep feature F_i^T(X′^T) of the to-be-recognized target domain electromyography data under the source domain S_i view, and then F_i^T(X′^T) is inputted into C_i for gesture classification, to obtain a target domain gesture classification result under the source domain S_i view.

Through the process, when new to-be-recognized target domain electromyography data X′^T is inputted into the mode, target domain gesture classification results under k source domain S₁, S₂, S₃, . . . , and S_k views are finally obtained. In this embodiment, weighted fusion is performed on the k source-specific views, to obtain a final target domain gesture classification result. It is assumed that a j^th data sample in the new to-be-recognized target domain electromyography data X′^T is x′_j^T, a calculation formula of a gesture category soft label y′_j^T of the j^th data sample is:

$y_j^{\prime T}=\arg \max \left(\sum _{i=1}^k{\varpi }_i{C}_i^T\left(F_i^T\left(x_j^{\prime T}\right)\right)\right)$

where ω(i=1,2,3 . . . ,k) are weights under different source-specific views. Research on multi-source domain adaption learning has shown that classification results from source domains that are more similar to the target domain are more credible. Therefore, in this embodiment, the weights under different source-specific views are determined based on a similarity between a target domain and a source domain, to emphasize the view of the source domain that is highly similar to the target domain in the fusion of multi-source views. In this embodiment, similarities between a target domain and different source domains are measured based on a wasserstein distance and a confusion score, to determine weights of different source domains.

• • (1) Method for calculating a weight under a source-specific view based on a wasserstein distance:

${\omega }_i=e^{-\frac{{\left(V_i^T\right)}^2}{2}},$

• • where V_i^T is a wasserstein distance between a deep feature of i^th source domain S_i electromyography data and a deep feature of target domain electromyography data under a S_i view.
  • (2) Method for calculating a weight under a source-specific view based on a confusion score:

S_cf(x^T;F,D_i) is target domain data, F is a feature extractor, and the domain discriminator D_i is a domain discriminator based on the source domain S_i. For inputted data x (where x is from the source domain S_i or a target domain), the feature extractor extracts a feature F(x) and inputs the feature into the domain discriminator D_i, and the domain discriminator D_i classifies and determines whether F(x) is from the source domain S_i or the target domain. For the data from the source domain S_i, another source domain discriminator is not used. For the data from the target domain, a domain discriminator D_i generates N source domain discrimination results {D_i(F(x^T))}_i=1^N for updating the domain discriminator D_i.
